    I loved this episode - Simone’s new cowl looks scrumptious. I’ve been worried about you in this epic snowfall, which I’ve been reading about; glad you’re all okay.Kim, I love your sense of humor and scatalogical talk is what we do in the Adirondacks. I even have a field guide that details all different kinds and how to recognize them.
    I hope all the folks who watch are subscribing - it’s a known “grumble” of some CZcamsrs who admit that people don’t know the value of subscribing and think it’s ok to just watch every week without that formal tie-in. Comments and thumbs up are so great - but now, apparently, we all work for things called “algorithms.” So SUBSCRIBE, you guys! XX

    I love the chemistry between the three of you. When I watch, I feel like I am there in front of you sharing time with friends. 😊 Oh, and I am also from Mtl (moved away 15+ years ago) and Kim, you are right, when it snows even a bit, everyone flips out. Total panic & traffic is mental! 😅

    I'm only 18 minutes in but felt compelled to comment so soon as that Coyote calling was absolutely awesome, it made my skin tingle. You are all very brave living out in the wild. Anyway, I'm going to continue watching the rest of the show now but thank you all for bringing such interesting topics every single episode. Kim, I can just imagine your face in the early hours when Ken started woofing😂😂, very quick thinking Ken!

    Love the Sheep Harmony! Another plug for Chapman's ice cream. They are local to us. Not only did they keep their employees and pay them during the fire, they saved a school from being closed and they now share profits with their employees. I wish there were more like them, it should be the way of the world. The thing I love about living in a small town, semi-rural area is that community thing, People checking on each other, helping out. And I was so amazed that during a snow storm no-one is expected to be anywhere. Though I dont go to a workplace any more, we were concerned about booking doctor and dental appointments in January because of having to cancel them in case of weather. In the City we would get charged for that. But here the receptionists said " Oh that's a given. No worries at all. Just call and we will reschedule". Winter is easier away from the city! Sadly though, things are changing all too fast here 😒

    Always enjoy your “shows” and learn something new. This comment is not about knitting this time but I am in North Carolina and had never heard of Quality Street candy until you all talked about it. The very next day I was watching Doc Martin and the policeman Joe Penhale of their village was handing out Quality Street candy for his station Open House. The people came for the candy but not the station tour Poor Joe! But thanks to you all I knew about Quality Street candy 🙂 Love your knitting!

    Our friend's sheep farm, we looked after last year, were given a 2hr warning the fire was heading towards their farm. Lucinda's partner and son stayed behind. The wind thankfully turned. No sheep were lost. The nearby town Pomonal lost 46 homes. Thats so funny with the scat and paper.

    @pennylittle8435 Před 6 měsíci

    Loved the peaceful Harmony. What a lovely flock! That large dark one in the middle looks like the leader!❤ I’m pretty sure I’ve knitted the sweater for myself that Betsy is knitting. I would love to send a pic to you. I taught a class on it and it was so fun to see six different versions of the same sweater. Just wanted to share but don’t know how to get pic from my phone onto the comments section🫤

    Once again you have outdone yourself in the Harmony part...both the video and the music! Loved it when they all turned and looked toward Ken. Have to wonder if he was talking to them?? Thanks for the great podcast.

    @brendamorison8671 Před 6 měsíci

    My goodness, that model in the new Rowan book is so beautiful! I am thinking about ice cream now, thanks guys. Chapman ice cream is not available in the US. I am thinking about what Betsy said about a serving is just how much you can get in a bowl. Who uses a bowl? Much more efficient to eat right out of the carton. Love Simon's new cowl pattern. Enjoyed the podcast as always. One of my favs.

  • @vindeljay
    @vindeljay Před 6 měsíci +2

    Beautiful music to that harmony, love the sheep all rugged up in their woolly coats. Love the laughter you girls generate, I always enjoy it. Lots of lovely inspiration again. I was quite touched when I read the newsletter about community spirit in difficult times, so heart warming.

  • @janethogan8387
    @janethogan8387 Před 6 měsíci

    Great podcast as usual. I appreciated the discussion on gauge, I don’t mind doing a swatch to determining gauge but have skipped it for smaller projects and either used more yarn than expected or it was too tight to showcase the knitting. A good reminder about the importance for any project. I enjoyed the harmony section today, when the sheep were lined up, their tiny legs and the white snow it looked like corrugated ribbing! 😊 Have a great couple of weeks.

    Another fabulous podcast! So many interesting and fun segments, and lots of inspiration, including the blanket MKAL. Loved Simone’s new cowl pattern, and Betsy’s little mouse. That Chestnut cardigan is gorgeous, Betsy’s Scandinavian sweater, and Kim I love that Northumberland blue sweater you are making! I love watching the sheep in the snow, that was lovely. Your podcasts are always great…I’ve been watching for quite sometime now maybe around two years. They keep getting better and better…and last night the time flew! Keep up the great work.
    A big fan of you all.

    It's coyote mating season from late January to early March so that's probably why they're communicating a lot. We have a lot of coyotes in my part of Toronto near the waterfront and there's a pack in the cemetery near me.

"Listen up girls, Ken's taking a video so all together now move forward towards him ... stop, stand still, wait, ok move forward, stop now, wait, hey, brown fleece you're sideways, straighten up with the rest of us, that's better, now white fleece is sideways, that's enough, cut". I always love your podcast, thank you!

    I just love catching up with you all on the podcast! Such a warm, friendly vibe the three of you have going! I had to chuckle when you talked about each of you doing one part of the process - each doing either your favorite part or what you don't mind doing. I have found that I enjoy the process of knitting, but I really disklike the finishing parts so much so that I have about a half dozen unfinished projects. I wasn't going to allow myself to start any new projects until I finished those, but that didn't last because I missed knitting! So, those projects will just sit unfinished while I happily enjoy knitting. My mother-in-law used to help me with the finish work because she enjoyed that and it gave her something to while watching TV, but she's no longer able to do my finish work! I look forward to your knitting, crochet AND spinning podcast each time a new episode drops!

    I agree with others - it’s such a lovely Friday evening to have a new podcast to watch. I love the long episodes and so enjoy each of you sharing ideas, inspiration, and a few laughs. Woah - I’d never heard coyotes before. Best part of the harmony segment is the sheep lining up to watch - like they are posing for us! Thank you for all the time you spend on these. Very jealous of the snow - I’d love to just have one day, but nary a flurry this year.❤

We don’t get those kinds of dumps of snow here in the Rockies of BC, but have had our share of snow, and we are so thankful for our neighbours helping neighbours. Those acts of kindness are really so special ❤️

    @pennylittle8435 Před 6 měsíci

    Yeah🎉It’s Saturday morning with you three❤I live in the States in Indiana and we have many cyotes. In fact a pack attacked our two shelties years ago killing one and injuring the other. We always become alerted when we see or hear them. We too have horses and have heard stories of a horse being attacked by a pack of coyotes. 😢 I’m glad to hear your sheep are not in danger of them.
    I applaud and agree with your “ice cream” philosophy! 😊

    I LOVE the inside flap on the Knitted Birds book as well. It is such a well designed book. Note: If you do order this book in paperback it will not have the open end flaps with all those beautiful birds so definitely get the hardcover - you won’t be disappointed. I’ve knit several birds, including a “Canadian crow” for my friend in PEI!

  • @lynnecrowley4248
    @lynnecrowley4248 Před 6 měsíci

    Because of Simone’s zen when she’s support spindling I have begun doing it myself. Self taught from CZcams videos. I LOVE it! I agree It definitely is more difficult to procure spindles and much more expensive than drop spinning. Support spinning is my preference now. Could you maybe do a little bit on an episode about what your process is after you finish the spin? Moving it off the spindle, storing the cop, and then plying set up……that would be magnificent

    Yep, coyote. This kid also mating season. So lots of calling and yipping as part of that. So be mindful of your smaller outdoor pets. In the warmer spring, when the groups are moving they are noisy. Lovely pdcast. I love your friendship dynamics and your knitting expertise.

Today we saw some scat on the path that was a weird shape which made us look twice and have a giggle. Sadly we didn't think to take a photo! Thanks for the Episode. Jane

    I again thoroughly enjoyed your podcast. What more could you add to make it more enjoyable? Coyote scat, knitting centerfolds, squishy yarn, and beautiful sheep in the snow. BTW, i have a book recommendation for Harmony Reads. It's called Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann. Originally written in German, it was translated into English. It's about a herd of sheep trying to solve a mystery. Very entertaining.

  • @MultiKnitter
    @MultiKnitter Před 6 měsíci

    FYI for those trying to keep house pets safe from coyotes...I saved all my salon haircut clippings and gave them to a lady with a small dog. She wanted to let the dog out without worrying about her dog being attacked by coyotes. They lived out in the country. She set some of the hair out in clumps about 1 foot apart in a long line some 2 feet away for the end of the dog lead... then next time she placed it about 2' away from the last line of hair...and so on till it was well out of reach of the dog's area. This hair was always replaced after snow/rain.
    She said it worked well to keep coyotes away from the porch area because the tracks came up to the line of hair, stopped & turned away. Before trying the hair method the tracks in the snow came right up to the porch. They really didn't like the human hair. My Uncle used it in his garden/yard and saved all his landscaping which deer had almost completely stripped. He said each time they put fresh hair down the deer came over a small hill, heads went up and they'd sniff and turn to walk away.
    That said I loved all the knitting, spinning and the new cowl design.

After the Marie Wallen KAL ends, perhaps consider one using Jennifer Beale patterns? I'm working on one of her patterns for the first time, and I think she is brilliant. I'm pretty sure I'll always have one of her patterns on the needles from now on ❤
